About Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a vibrant global financial hub renowned for its stunning skyline, unique East-meets-West culture, and efficient infrastructure. However, its media landscape has undergone significant changes, with press freedom notably declining since the 2020 National Security Law, leading to the closure of independent outlets and prevalent self-censorship.

To gain a comprehensive understanding, seek out a variety of news sources, including international outlets, and be aware of the increased prevalence of self-censorship in local reporting.
